A <br />summary of progress made toward actions <br />specified in the previous Plan Update is included <br />in Appendix C. <br />4.9 Special Wastes <br />4.9.1 Current Activities <br />Special waste management focuses on items that <br />are problematic to dispose and or not suitable for <br />landfill disposal. They include household HHW, <br />white goods, tires, used motor oil, antifreeze, lead <br />acid batteries, and electronics (e- waste). <br />Household Hazardous Waste <br />The HHW facility is located at 246 General Services <br />Drive in Concord, NC and accepts HHW materials <br />from residents twice per month on the first <br />Wednesday of every month from 8:00 am to 1:00 <br />pm and the third Saturday of every month from <br />8:OOam to 1:OOpm. <br />Seven hazardous waste management firms are <br />under contract to remove, transport, and dispose of <br />the HHW. During FY 2008, Cabarrus County <br />collected approximately 32 tons of HHW at a cost <br />of $35,000. Materials accepted include: pesticides, <br />herbicides, batteries, antifreeze, used motor oil and <br />filters, degreasers, dry chemical fire extinguishers, <br />fluorescent bulbs, paints, solvents, mercury <br />thermometers, and others. <br />White Goods <br />White goods are collected at the HHW facility on <br />HHW collection days and twice a week on Tuesday <br />and Thursday. In addition, the County accepts <br />white goods at the landfill Monday through <br />Saturday. <br />All of Cabarrus County's municipalities offer white <br />goods collection either directly or through their <br />contracted hauler. Three provide this service on a <br />by- request basis while the City of Kannapolis offers <br />this service weekly. <br />During FY 2008, Cabarrus County was able to <br />recover 512 tons of white goods that were brought <br />to its multi - material recycling facilities by the <br />jurisdictions, their contract haulers, and others. <br />Tires <br />Cabarrus County only accepts waste tires from <br />County residents at the landfill. There is no fee for <br />tire disposal; however, residents are limited to 5 <br />tires per truck load.
